Abstract European foulbrood (EFB) is a bee larvae-specific infectious disease and the causative pathogen Melissococcus plutonius . Broad-spectrum antibiotics have classically been used in many countries to control pathogens; however, their use apiaries was discontinued several due concerns regarding health of bees humans. Therefore, development alternative treatments for that are safe humans essential. The present study examined effects nisin A supplementation using artificially reared honey larvae infected by M. strains. results obtained showed non-purified product toxic larvae, while semi-purified removing low-molecular-weight (< 3,000) chemicals not lethal larvae. larval diet supplemented with significantly increased survival rate levels required this rescue differed between strains infection, 12.5 100 µg/mL were strain DAT606 belonging clonal complex 3 DAT561 12, respectively. This beneficial effect attributed antagonistic activity against strains, viable decreased gut at concentrations. Due risks associated apiaries, food-grade promising EFB.
